Normally, I would write about a Star Wars episode. Or go to one of my other blogs for this post, but... this needs to be said and I don't feel like putting it somewhere else randomly.

My best friend lost one of her best friends to a suicide. I've tried comforting her, but this isn't anything like one of her many breakups (Which I'vve never been good comfort for, since I've never dated, but I could always make her crack a smile before). I didn't know her friend, but he left her specifically a note. Unsure what to do, I felt something needed to be said. The after effects of someone dying, hit hard home for me. My father died when I was seven. Her father died a few years ago. That was how we met. Today, she asked me to draw a picture of her friend. I haven't gotten to do it yet. People rarely realize how much they can effect people themselves. I struggle in noticing the reaction I get from the chemicals I put out. To put it simply, This is a short blog post. Keep this in mind: Domino effect.

Okay... I'm thinking I may know why Lux likes Steela. Let's compare her to the young Padawan he first kissed, shall we?

I can't be the ONLY person who noticed this... She has fingerless, elbow-length gloves, knee-high boots, a belt that has for straps and a buckle with a similar shape to Ahsoka's. Sleeveless top, similar body shape, something around her neck... weird hair. I know Ahsoka's isn't really HAIR, it's lekku and monterials. Still, I have more similarities. There's a pouch on the back of her belt, something around the top of her head, her boots have the part that comes down around the arch... I really don't need to go on. Basically, Steela looks a lot like Ahsoka and I think that was done purposely.

Really, please tell me I'm not the only one. The only reason I waited so long, was in hopes someone else would make the connection and I could hear their thoughts before I posted and people told me otherwise. What do you think?

WARNING: This post contains spoilers from the Onderon
episodes and Season Five!!!

...To sum up something in a single, excited and horrifying
re-accruing word that I want to see next season? Lux. Now, I don't mean that in
a bad way at all, hear me through. It may be a little early, or right on time,
but I have to see where his story ends. It's the only one, besides Ahsoka's,
I'm really anticipating. I don't really like Darth Maul or Ventress as much as
I do the other two, not to say I'd rather not hear their stories, because I
would, but I'm just not as found of these Dark side duelists. And it's not like
I had become immediately attached to Maul and Ventress like I had Lux and
Ahsoka.

Lux and Ahsoka were instantly a piece of the Star Wars
universe as soon as they were created. Most people don't recognize that. And
I'm just not ready to see them collapse under the pressure of war. I want a
story that leads them beyond what you already know, into secrets and shadows.
And Lux can do that. I know that if he's going to be in an episode, Ahsoka will
be too. And now that he'll be joining the Republic, what's to say there won't
be more of him? The story of the Padawan and the Senator who discovered so much
after one fateful event.

Steela, I honestly felt so terrible about. She had gotten on
and off my nerves throughout the arc, flirting and breaking into moments where
I would just like to have two of my favorite characters talk. Especially after
the advents of A Friend in Need. It felt unfair for those who had waited for a
one-on-one discussing between Lux and Ahsoka to happen, to have Steela barge in
and throw the two off the track. And when I had actually said to my friend,
"I wish she was out of the picture!" And threatened to drive a butter
knife through her body if she interrupted another conversation between them (I
later used this to my advantage by tricking my friend into believing I had
actually drove a knife through the screen of my computer, making her response
nearly impossible to watch). When I had said that, I did not mean under any circumstances
for Dave Filoni to kill her! I cried when she died, and as a writer myself, I
could see her character potential and all that was wasted when she fell off the
cliff.

Saw... another interesting character. I actually liked him
more than his sister. In the end, I wasn't, and still am not, certain where his
path lies. I hope that Dave brings him back again.

I like Luxsoka, I
don't care if you say it's stupid and Ahsoka needs not to fall in love. Think
of it this way: Like Master, like Padawan. If Anakin hadn't of fallen in love,
there would be no Star Wars. And then where would the Galaxy be without Luke
and Leia? Jedi should be entitled to fall in love or have a relationship, choosing
on their own weather it should end or endure. If someone told you that you
weren't allowed to get married because you are a member of something, what
would you do?

I'm not calling other people wrong. If you don't believe in
Luxsoka, happen to like Rexsoka or Cadsoka, or still think all Jedi need to
follow the code, it's fine. I deal with all four every day. I have a friend who
doesn't like Jedi relationships, another who doesn't think Ahsoka should be in
love, two who like Rexsoka and one who's always giggling on how cute Cadsoka
is. I really don't care how you believe in my favorite Padawan, but I still
wonder why people hate her.

If the haters even watch the show, they have to know how
much Ahsoka affected the galaxy. Without her, things would be very different in
the Original Trilogy, believe you me. Had she never been created, things, I
suppose, would have stayed the same. But the explanation would be very
different.

They would be different to me. To my friends. To the haters,
who would have found another way to hate. To the Fan Fiction authors. To
artists. And most of all to the Chosen One. Where would we be without Darth
Vader?

Now maybe I've done a bunny trail. I've gone from one thing
to another and then another and so forth. In my reality all things in this post
are connected in some way, and like a conversation, it switches subjects.

I wasn't even planning on making this into a blog post, I
was simply typing out a few words on Facebook. That expanded and I felt I
needed to post this where others could see. Just try to learn something from my
bunny trail. I'd hate for it to be in vain.

People laugh because I'm different. I laugh because all of them are the same. This post makes me unique.

Leaving you with this thought: Be careful what you wish for,
it effects everything.
